The Indianapolis 500 was ONCE one of the most prestigious races in the world. In 1973, I got the opportunity to go to the first day of qualifying at IMS, got to eat cold fried chicken for lunch like everybody else who brought their own food to the track. I also saw the wreck in the Turn 1-2 area that killed Art Pollard. The race that year is probably remembered for the loss of multiple lives, and the multi-day running of the race.
After all the carnage that year, my interest in the Indy 500 was pretty much gone. I had wanted to watch a race, and instead saw too much death in one venue. I know that danger is inherent to auto racing, but watching crew members and spectators catch on fire from burning fuel on live TV, or seeing crew members get run over on Pit Row, pretty much takes a LOT of the glamour away.
